Hi,

I just want to share a small discovery I just made:

I have the LR004805 kit installed in my RRS. I asked specifically for it (even if LR no longer supply this unit), and I got the cradle installed next to the steering wheel. In addition I got the L/R and the USB connectors installed in the glove compartment. The cradle is used for my iPod Classic (160GB), and I was looking for a solution to charge my iPhone 3G.

Perhaps I am the only one who didn't know, but the USB connection in the glove compartment can also be used as a USB charger, and works perfectly with the iPhone 3G. Not all chargers do that, and the only way to find out is trial-and-error. If the charger does not work, the 3G will tell you, and it most likely will not charge.

Now if I could only find a smart dashboard/windscreen holder for my 3G! Does anyone know a small smart holder?

I have the same setup, but it never clicked in my head to do such a thing, great idea. Thanks 

It may charge the phone but how will you play the songs or is this a post just to let us know about the charging?  RRS TDV6 Gone but still around

I have the same set-up, the USB connector plays fine from a memory stick, charges everything, but doesn't seem compatible with the new 32Gb i-touch.

It just gives a bunch of bleeps, flashes screen a few times and does nothing apart from charging the unit.

Unfortunately, it doesn't fit the LR cradle.

If anybody has got any suggestions of how to get it working, I would be very grateful! .

There is absolutely no substitute for a genuine lack of preparation.
